1/8 Mile Timeslips?

[SecretSquirlTuned]

I have seen a bunch of 1/4 mile Timeslips, was wondering if anyone here besides me plays at the local 1/8 mile?
If so I would like to see some times with list of mods so as to compare what others are getting in their FiSt.

9.89 @ 74.16 MPH stock
9.32 @ 78.15 MPH with a Livernois Tune

Both times were on the same day within an hour of each other.

1/8 timeslips are pointless for anything besides running. Seriously.

That's why I have 1/4 slips. I just reported my 1/8 mile times.

Some people only have an 1/8th mile track to play on. That being said I find the 1/8th rather boring, much rather do typical 1/4 mile passes.

And so for the rest of us who cant afford a 10sec 1/4mile car, we instead live it 1/8mile at a time

Or if you actually want to have fun, find some twisty roads. The Fiesta ST isn't really an amazing drag car. The handling and braking on the other hand is amazing for a stock car.

The reality is that in order to run a strong 1/4 mile you have to have a great 60' -330' and 660'=(1/8) the 60' and 330' are the single 2 most important puzzle pieces to pulling down a great 1/4 timeslip.........that being said I do prefer the 1/4 butttt I can get in twice as many practice runs on the 1/8 to further improve my driving skills. There are a lot of FAST 1/4 cars that come out to the local 1/8 and get really embarrassed by good drivers in slower cars!!!! So its hard to claim that 1/8 times are Pointless!!!!

Ask any real racer?? Its not how you stand by your car,,, Its how you RACE your car!!!

i just ran mine at a local 1/8 mile track. only went once but ran a 9.99

 

[SirSlaughter]

9.98

No mods. I actually had the engine strike the firewall in this video. I now have the COBB RMM. Traction control was on as well. My dad didn't know you could turn it to sport mode or off. So I am rather confident that my net run will be faster.

I believe the clunk is the roll restrictor bottoming out, not the engine hitting anything.

^ Exactly this.

good runs for stock car. Mine was running 9.90s before I installed the TT chip! But it is also like 100deg on any given night down here in Fla!!
